Moved from Leaf Blotch Miner Moths.
I'm pretty sure this isn't a gracillariid--looks gelechioid to me, as I had commented on the first image (so I agree with Steve).

Batrachedridae?
When I mentioned Chedra pensor below I should have also noted that the family was Batrachedridae as opposed to my previous Gracillariidae guess. Not sure if you moved it thinking Chedra was in Gracillariidae. Sorry for not being clear. It may have even been the case that I didn't know the family when I posted the comment.

Anyway, I think Batrachedridae is correct but it is still a guess.

LOL
I didn't even look to see you had refined your guess. I've been trying to put a dent in the 7,000+ unidentified moths. At least it's back in circulation after 5 years :)

Gracillariidae?
That's a guess.

1418 – Chedra pensor??
Still just a guess.
